Professor
Challenger
:
"
Then
I
guarantee
that
I
will
place
in
your
hands
such
material
as
will
enable
you
to
find
your
way
.
It
is
only
right
,
however
,
since
Mr.
Summerlee
goes
to
check
my
statement
that
I
should
have
one
or
more
with
him
who
may
check
his
.
I
will
not
disguise
from
you
that
there
are
difficulties
and
dangers
.
Mr.
Summerlee
will
need
a
younger
colleague
.
May
I
ask
for
volunteers
?
"
It
is
thus
that
the
great
crisis
of
a
man
's
life
springs
out
at
him
.
Could
I
have
imagined
when
I
entered
that
hall
that
I
was
about
to
pledge
myself
to
a
wilder
adventure
than
had
ever
come
to
me
in
my
dreams
?
But
Gladys
--
was
it
not
the
very
opportunity
of
which
she
spoke
?
Gladys
would
have
told
me
to
go
.
I
had
sprung
to
my
feet
.
I
was
speaking
,
and
yet
I
had
prepared
no
words
.
Tarp
Henry
,
my
companion
,
was
plucking
at
my
skirts
and
I
heard
him
whispering
,
"
Sit
down
,
Malone
!
Do
n't
make
a
public
ass
of
yourself
.
"
At
the
same
time
I
was
aware
that
a
tall
,
thin
man
,
with
dark
gingery
hair
,
a
few
seats
in
front
of
me
,
was
also
upon
his
feet
.
He
glared
back
at
me
with
hard
angry
eyes
,
but
I
refused
to
give
way
.
"
I
will
go
,
Mr.
Chairman
,
"
I
kept
repeating
over
and
over
again
.
"
Name
!
Name
!
"
cried
the
audience
.
"
My
name
is
Edward
Dunn
Malone
.
I
am
the
reporter
of
the
Daily
Gazette
.
I
claim
to
be
an
absolutely
unprejudiced
witness
.
"
"
What
is
YOUR
name
,
sir
?
"
the
chairman
asked
of
my
tall
rival
.
"
I
am
Lord
John
Roxton
.
I
have
already
been
up
the
Amazon
,
I
know
all
the
ground
,
and
have
special
qualifications
for
this
investigation
.
"
"
Lord
John
Roxton
's
reputation
as
a
sportsman
and
a
traveler
is
,
of
course
,
world-famous
,
"
said
the
chairman
;
"
at
the
same
time
it
would
certainly
be
as
well
to
have
a
member
of
the
Press
upon
such
an
expedition
.
"
"
Then
I
move
,
"
said
Professor
Challenger
,
"
that
both
these
gentlemen
be
elected
,
as
representatives
of
this
meeting
,
to
accompany
Professor
Summerlee
upon
his
journey
to
investigate
and
to
report
upon
the
truth
of
my
statements
.
"
And
so
,
amid
shouting
and
cheering
,
our
fate
was
decided
,
and
I
found
myself
borne
away
in
the
human
current
which
swirled
towards
the
door
,
with
my
mind
half
stunned
by
the
vast
new
project
which
had
risen
so
suddenly
before
it
.
As
I
emerged
from
the
hall
I
was
conscious
for
a
moment
of
a
rush
of
laughing
students
--
down
the
pavement
,
and
of
an
arm
wielding
a
heavy
umbrella
,
which
rose
and
fell
in
the
midst
of
them
.
Then
,
amid
a
mixture
of
groans
and
cheers
,
Professor
Challenger
's
electric
brougham
slid
from
the
curb
,
and
I
found
myself
walking
under
the
silvery
lights
of
Regent
Street
,
full
of
thoughts
of
Gladys
and
of
wonder
as
to
my
future
.
